creating error bars on numbers 09

I'm new to Numbers and I'm trying to draw error bars on my scatter graph.
To draw the graph, I clicked on the chart button, chose scatter graph and just altered the info in a table that popped up to make my chart.

To draw error bars, I went to the chart inspector and clicked on the series tab. I know I need to click on the Advanced button but I can't click it and the data section is empty. I can't click on that either and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Have you selected the chart?

To select a series, first click on the chart then click on a bar/line/data point of the series for which you want the error bars. Actually, turns out you don't have to select the data series anyway. Sorry for the misinformation.

I do not know why you can't select error bars. I'll have to play around some and see if I can get it into that state.
